Are all packets are delivered to my door?
Packets that belong up to the category of the "Large" Packet (25kg) are delivered exactly to your door step.
Packets that are on a bigger scale than that, have to picked up by you from one of our warehouses in Greece, either Thessaloniki or in Athens, where it is more preferable by you.

Absolutely. The Transport-to-Greece address is a regular EU postal address of the warehouse. It is not a PO Box.
